I am lovin' my Greco LP!! I have been playing just this guitar for 6 months now.I now only own one other electric,a Reverend Spy.I have previously owned 4 Gibson LP's in the past and I like this one better than any of them.It weighs 8.75 lbs,Antiquities and a bell shaped truss rod cover were in it when I bought it,(I did get the original "Screamin' PAF's too,which I heard are hotter),"orangy sunburst",I'm still not sure,I think it's a very thin poly finish.Other than that,seems like a perfect copy 59 LP.These guitars get no respect but I'm not complaining...it is nice to find this forum where you aren't made to feel like a freak because the guitar doesn't say Gibson on the headstock

I just got my '89 EG59-70 in the other day. First LP i have ever had. I am loving it. It is much nicer tone than the squier strat i learned on. My scale has it coming in at around ~8lbs maybe a little more. So Monday i am going to the post office for the weight and to the chemistry lab to check the finish.

Here are some pics

hey villager post some pics of that EGF-1000. it is too hard to see on your site. Does it have a moving flame?

its a 1980 ..I also have a mint collection EG59-100 and a EG59-120 which are both bitchin' guitars...the super reals have fatter necks though ...difficult to say which I prefer..lol depends on the day of the week...

I also have a super real EGF-1200 coming ..that should be special ....they are so rare now...

Hey Duckmeister,

I'd guess that your guitar has a poly finish as poly is liable to chip rather than "wear away" like nitro.

No matter - it's a great looking guitar!

Man it may not be Nitro, i checked it today it might be french shellac , but this thing is beautiful in person. It has this color change about it that is striking. It is literally a moving plaintop. Here is a pic of it. The full size pic of this look better you can see it clearer, this is hard to get on camera.

This finish is really thin. It looks like Nitro it even has nitro-esque dents.

I have a 1980 EGF 1000 (just the same that villager has) and it's definitely the best LP I ever played. I would buy a second one if I could afford. Not at the moment, but I will get one Waiting for news on villager's coming EGF 1200

I can't t really explain the difference, but it just feels best of all. When you play it, it's like your hands are one with the neck. And it's a very beautiful guitar!

Even the high spec Grecos have 3-piece body, but I don't find that bad.
